1. What does 'Ongoing' mean?

• A. Ended
• B. Continuous
• C. Delayed
• D. Occasional

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Continuous.' 'Ongoing' is used to describe something that is currently happening or continuing without interruption. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Ended,' 'Delayed,' and 'Occasional' do not reflect the continuous nature associated with 'Ongoing.'

2. The new mother wanted to use cloth diapers rather than disposables.

• A. Close
• B. Clothing
• C. Cloth
• D. Clothes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct choice is C. Cloth because in the sentence, the new mother expressed a preference for using cloth diapers over disposables. 'Cloth' refers to a type of diaper material, and it makes sense in the context of the sentence. Choice A, 'Close,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the type of diapers being discussed. Choice B, 'Clothing,' is incorrect as it refers to garments worn on the body, not diapers. Choice D, 'Clothes,' is also incorrect as it is used for general garments, not specific to diapers.

3. Another word for ASSURED is?

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of
• D. Made known to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'assured' means to have made certain or confident of something. 'Confirmed' is a synonym that aligns with this meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Confirmed the truth of.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' does not have a similar meaning to 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is the opposite in meaning to 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' does not convey the same sense of certainty as 'assured.'

4. What does Depth mean?

• A. The thickness of an object
• B. Downward measurement from a surface
• C. The length of a surface
• D. The area between two points

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Depth refers to the distance or downward measurement from a surface. It is not the thickness of an object (Choice A), as thickness is the measure of how thick or thin an object is, not necessarily related to depth. Additionally, it is not the length of a surface (Choice C) because length typically refers to the longest dimension of an object rather than its depth. Finally, it is not the area between two points (Choice D) because area is a measure of the space within a boundary defined by points, while depth specifically refers to the vertical distance below a surface.

5. When directions are convoluted, what is wrong with them?

• A. They are erroneous.
• B. They are incomplete.
• C. They are confusing.
• D. They are unethical.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When directions are convoluted, it means they are intricate, complex, and difficult to understand. This leads to confusion on the part of the recipient trying to follow them. Choice A, 'They are erroneous,' suggests that the directions are incorrect, which might not always be the case. Choice B, 'They are incomplete,' implies that something essential is missing from the directions, which might not be the primary issue with convoluted directions. Choice D, 'They are unethical,' is unrelated to the clarity or complexity of the directions, making it an incorrect choice.
